Why so long?

If AI had such obvious gains, why not accelerate that timeline to 6 months?

Take the average time to make a simple app, divide by the supposed productivity speed up, and this should be the time we see a wave of AI coded apps.

As time goes on, the only conclusion we can reach (especially looking at the data) is that the productivity gains are not substantial.

> Why so long?

Because in the beginning of a new technology, the advantages of the technology benefit only the direct users of the technology (the programmers in this case).

However, after a while, the corporations see the benefit and will force their employees into an efficiency battle, until the benefit has shifted mostly away from the employees and towards their bosses.

After this efficiency battle, the benefits will become observable from a macro perspective.
